Landowner sues Nazim Kamran Choudhury

A landowner yesterday filed a criminal case against Nazim Kamran Choudhury, husband of Industries Adviser Geeteara Safiya Choudhury, and eight others on charges of grabbing land and physical assault.
Farhana Islam, wife of Dr Mahbubul Islam, filed the case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka.
After hearing, Metropolitan Magistrate Hemayet Uddin recorded statement of the complainant, but he did not pass any order on the issue.
The other accused in the case are Abu Rushd Tareq, his wife Shamsun Nahar Tarek, Makim Choudhury, Shawkat Hossain Shahadat, Adit Bhagat, Ripon, Bipul and Yar Ali.
In her complaint, Farhana mentioned that Nazim Kamran and others were her tenants and they had illegally stayed in her building in Gulshan-2, even after the agreement for rent expired.
Farhana also alleged that Nazim Kamran and his men beat up her and tugged at her sari when they made a bid to "usurp the property" on Oct 22.
Following the incident, Farhana said, she went to Gulshan Police Station for filing a case against them but police refused to register it as a regular case.
